The direct amination of CĀH bonds is a unique synthetic approach towards the important class of alkylated nitrogen compounds.[1] In this context, the palladium-catalyzed intermolecular C (sp3) ĀH activation/amination of alkyl groups is a notably unexplored process.[2–4] On the other hand, we recently came across a reaction based on the formation of alkyl–nitrogen bonds from s-alkyl palladium intermediates in the context of developing intermolecular diamination reactions of alkenes employing high-oxidation-state palladium catalysis.[5, 6] We report herein on the successful extension of this CĀN bond-forming reaction to arrive at direct palladiumcatalyzed oxidative CĀH amidation reactions. 8-Methylquinoline (1a) was chosen as model substrate,[7] and several oxidants such as iodobenzene diacetate/bistosylimide,[5a] PhI (OAc) NTs2,[8] and N-fluorobis (phenylsulfonyl)-imide (NFSI) were screened as nitrogen sources.[5b, 9, 10] A direct CĀH activation/amidation reaction was readily accomplished with all three reagents in the presence of palladium (II) acetate as the catalyst precursor (Table 1, entries 1–3), and selective product formation was observed; however, yields were highly dependent on the reaction conditions.[11, 12] 1, 4-Dioxane was identified as the best solvent and a suitable rate was obtained only at high temperature. No product formed in the absence of palladium catalyst. Finally, in further catalyst screening with NFSI as the oxidant,[Pd (hfacac) 2](hfacac= hexafluoroacetylacetonate) was identified as the optimum catalyst source (Table 1, entries 4–6). The general structure of the new products 2 was unambiguously secured by X-ray crystal structure analysis of compound 2b.[13] A number of additional CĀH amidation reactions of 8-methylquinolines were accomplished with unprecedented efficiency (Scheme1). These also include the selective monoamidation of 2-tert-butylpyridine (3) with the formation of a single CĀN bond. The reaction proceeds with the commercially available catalyst [Pd (hfacac) 2] and commercial oxidant NFSI in an atom-economical manner, forming only HF as a by-product. Deprotection of 2b producing 8-aminomethylquinoline was readily achieved under acidic conditions (HCl, 75%), which allows for convenient overall access to this class of interesting pharmaceutical building blocks.[14] To extend the substrate scope, we were interested in a more labile coordinating group following a recent concept by Yu et al.[15] To this end, 2-methylphenyl ethers 5 were investigated (Table 2).[16][Pd (hfacac) 2] and palladium dichloride were completely inefficient catalysts in this case (Table 2, entries 1 and 2), and after extensive screening, a combination of Pd (OAc) 2 and bathocuproine (bc) was found to be more appropriate (Table 2, entry 3). By the use of the preformed bathocuproine palladium complex [(bc) Pd (OAc) 2][17] the
